I believe that this type of thing is quite common as men get older , it goes hand in hand with loss of libido , and the urge to dress up in ladies clothes , I think it's something to do with oestrogen levels , but I'll stand to be corrected by a doctor or vet 👍.

ditchman Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 my oestrogen levels are fine ...i check them regular like "i may no longer be in the army ....but im still on active service ..if you know what i mean....." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBS Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Are you removing as much loose soil as possible from the trap area and the tunnels to either side? This prevents soil being pushed ahead of the mole and triggering the trap. I try to smooth off the tunnel floor where the trap is set by pushing down the soil with a fist or spade handle.

It now takes him all night to do what he used to do all night .He may not be as good as he once was, but he's as good once as he always was, but don't tell the mole .

GBS i removed all the loose soil with an old spoon from the tunnels and as much as i could from the bottom of the hole without touching it with my hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Don't know why, but while perusing this very interesting thread, " Simple Simon " flashed through my head. I reckon if PW had a thread of the year award like the soaps award, this would definitely win. I think he doesn't want to harm it as he's grown too fond of it or them. You are going to miss it when it's gone, you'll be bored to tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
